In depth

Verdict

Tony Carroll is mob-handed in this but none of his three runners make much appeal. KRAZY PAVING was successful over course and distance last month and only beaten a neck at Wolverhampton four days later. He’s 4-9 here and, though closely matched with Thaki and At Your Service on the form book, can get his head in front again. Storm Melody missed the break at Lingfield last time having finished second here previously and is on a decent mark at present, though on a long losing run and only 1-13 on the all-weather.
